In the Shadow of Them
About
IN THE SHADOW OF THEM
This is the truth many have lived.
We are the women who stayed in the background so everyone else could shine.
The ones who gave until we disappeared.
Who kept the house standing while our own walls crumbled.
Who were called strong when we were really just surviving.
We were shaped by their needs, their rules, their voices, until ours went silent.
This is the moment we take it back.
The quiet rising.
The steady return to ourselves.
For every woman who’s ever felt invisible.
For every mother who’s carried the weight of the world.
For every teen going unseen.
For every survivor ready to step out of the shadows and into her own light.
Praise for this book
This is a wonderful book written by an amazingly talented author. It is a must read that may bring you to tears. But you will come away feeling lighter, knowing that you are enough and you weren't crazy, you were normal. She puts in writing feelings that we felt and had no words to express. Do yourself a favor and order it now.
These poems are so deep and powerful,
I couldn’t put the book down last night. Every page pulled me in and kept me reading. And I absolutely love the butterflies bookmark, it’s one of my favorite touches!
Loved this book! The poems are deep, real, and impossible to put down, and love the butterflies.
I couldn’t put it down, and it normally take me days to finish a book. You touched on so much that women go through. Now, as an older man and with my wife gone, I realize a lot. I just want to hug you for sharing this. I bought more copies for my daughter, granddaughters, and nieces, and I hope my sons read it too, so they understand what many women with giving hearts endure. It’s a beautiful book from a beautiful person.
